Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

the more delays the more I just think the NRD is obsolete, especially more ES now a days. its more now like ball and chains on us. no doubts their way of making easy money.

Well it was obvious from the beginning that the NRD was just a quick easy way to make money off cancellations.

I get the NRD. I'm sure SS has had many people cancel items over the years that got caught up in the hype of any figure and later regretted ordering.
That or circumstances changed.
It takes time for them to alter orders, time is money.
But taking $80k in non-refundable dollars, with multiple delays and no info is what annoys me most.
Not the greatest business model...

Re: Sideshow Batman PF?

The NRD makes flaky *****es think twice, I like it; you wanna PO? You gotta put your money where your mouth is.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

No prob with it either. Would prefer they not even put a set release date when item goes up for PO.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

Not giving you a time frame for a release date is almost like taking your car in for service and not know when you'll get it back.
Yes, you'll eventually get it but it would be helpful to have an idea of when.

And the NRD doesn't stop the flippers for ordering, so it is what it is.

I think I'm just getting over it already...
Would I like Bats? Yes.
Do I need Bats? No.
And while yes, this is just a luxury item and not a necessity, keeping your paid clients informed (even just a little bit) on production for what they have already put money down on is what most companies do to stay afloat.

It's because Sideshow knows that he's the PF we deserve, but not the one we need right now.

So, we'll post angry comments about him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.

NRD was never about flippers. Its about hundreds of people ordering in the heat of the moment and then cancelling because the attraction wore off. Look how many times our friend CBG cancelled an item because of the ES announcement. That hurts a business especially when your basing your edtion numbers partially on preorders.

I agree that the delays are ridiculous but the NRD has to be there imo, and has never bothered me.

NRD in not what bothers me, it's the lack of communication on Sideshows part. But I do agree that once an item has been pushed back, at some point they should have an option to refund the deposit to people that want to. Circumstances do change over time...

I get what you're saying. Something like an opt-out if an item is delayed more than six months. especially at this point when the original due date was back in march I believe.

Exactly. Right on the fence with this one looking at what side is greener.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

What is the longest delay time SS ever did for a statue? Just curious

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

I have always thought if I paced myself, I wouldn't burn myself out and quit this hobby early. I have always looked the other way towards increased ES, increased prices, and poor QC. But this delay is just ridiculous and with no updates is just plain absurd. With my newfound hobby, having one foot is out the door was easy.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

Sadly delays like these make it easy to forget about the hobby all together. I would not think that is something SS wants In My Opinion.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

So who's cancelling?

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

So who's cancelling?

None of us. that's why SS can do **** like this because we just keep taking it.

Re: Official Sideshow Batman PF

one can probably call customer service to cancel and ask for an NRD refund due to delays. it really doesn't matter to me much but clearly, SS is growing beyond their control.

But we've come so far and we are so close now.
